If it is unavoidable that fabrics that contain vegetable or cooking oil or that have been contaminated by hair care products be placed in a tumble dryer, they should first be washed in hot water with extra detergent – this will reduce, but not eliminate the hazard.
Do not dry articles that have been previously cleaned in, washed in, soaked in, or spotted with gas, dry-cleaning solvents, other flammable, or explosive substances as they give off vapors that could ignite or explode.
Items that have been soiled with substances such as cooking oil, acetone, alcohol, gas, kerosene, spot removers, turpentine, waxes, and wax removers should be washed in hot water with extra detergent before being dried in the dryer.
Do not dry unwashed items in the dryer.
Do not use this dryer if industrial chemicals have been used for cleaning. The possible presence of residual quantities of aggressive or decomposed chemicals in the load may produce damage to the dryer and harmful fumes.

back-flow of gases into the room from appliances burning fuels, including open fires.
means that care is required to avoid causing a fire by igniting flammable material.
Oil-affected items can ignite spontaneously, especially when exposed to heat sources such as in a tumbler dryer. The items become warm, causing an oxidation reaction in the oil. Oxidation creates heat. If the heat cannot escape, the items can become hot enough to catch fire. Piling, stacking or storing oil-affected items can prevent heat from escaping and so create a fire hazard.
This appliance incorporates an earth connection for functional purposes only.
IEC Load Capacity – 10.5 kg.
Exhaust air must not be discharged into a flue which is used for exhausting fumes from appliances burning gas or other fuels.
